Netflix’s The Night Agent is looking to boost its ranks.
Genesis Rodriguez (Lioness) is in talks to join the espionage drama for its third season. Netflix has already greenlit a third installment of one of its most popular shows, which stars Gabriel Basso as a low-level FBI agent who’s thrust into a far-reaching conspiracy.
Rodriguez is set to be a regular on season three, which is set to begin filming soon in Istanbul and continue in New York early next year. Details on her role are being kept quiet for now.
Netflix declined comment.
Season two of The Night Agent, meanwhile, is scheduled to premiere Jan. 23. It will find Peter Sutherland (Basso) getting a chance to work as a Night Agent after his actions in season one. But working in the secretive organization of Night Action propels him into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply.
Rodriguez is currently starring in season two of another spy thriller, Lioness, at Paramount+. Her credits also include Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy and Neon, feature films Identity Thief and Run All Night and voice work on Big Hero 6 and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Rodriguez is repped by UTA, Untitled Entertainment and Jackoway Austen.
Shawn Ryan is the creator and showrunner of The Night Agent, which is based on a novel by Matthew Quirk and produced by Sony Pictures TV. Ryan executive produces season two with Marney Hochman, Paul Bernard, Munis Rashid, Guy Ferland, Seth Gordon and Julia Gunn of Exhibit A Films, David Beaubaire of Sunset Lane Media, and Project X Entertainment’s Paul Neinstein, William Sherak, Nicole Tossou and James Vanderbilt.
